Become a Sustainer

When nonprofit organizations have a strong foundation and manage themselves well, they can focus more wholly on the services and support they bring to our communities. Contributions to the Center help us provide affordable trainings, programs, and services to nonprofits across the state and help position the Center as a leading advocate on state and federal public policies and issues affecting our state's nonprofits.

We are grateful to our current sustainers!
